Hi linkers,
This is a Unicode domain name tester. I was looking for a URL shortener and
uncovered this one:
http://qoiob.com/
which uses Unicode characters for really short domains. For example,
the Wikipedia article on URL shorteners is here:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening>
which qoiob shortens to this:
<http://ж.tv/4q>
or this:
<http://ᄒ.ws/5r>
The first uses the Russian letter "zh" and the second a Korean character
in the first part of the domain name.
Do both of the above Unicode domains work for you?
cheers
